Sweet Child O' Mine
Slash/Myles & The Conspirators Lyrics

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Her smile reminds me of something familiar.

Reminds me of childhood memories
It reminds me of the moments I had in my childhood.

Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
The atmosphere was different with optimism and positivity.

Now and then when I see her face
Occasionally I see her face.

She takes me away to that special place
She takes my emotions to a prior special place.

And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry
If I continue looking at her for too long, I can't help but feel emotional and cry.

Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
The person being referred to is very dear or memorable.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
The love being shared is affectionate and real.

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
Her eyes are as bright as the sky.

As if they thought of rain
Her eyes when staring reminds me of a cloudy day with the possibility of rain.

I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
I would hate to see someone I care for in pain.

Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Her hair is very comforting with a sense of security.

Where as a child I'd hide
As a child, I would hide in a similar place to seek comfort.

And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
During thunderstorms, I would hide there and hope it would pass over without harm.

Where do we go?
Where can we go for a better future?

Where do we go now?
Where can we go for a better outcome?

(Sweet child) Ooh, where do we go now?
Where can we go for a better future ahead?

Now now now now now now now
Right now is when the feelings are amplified.

Sweet child, sweet child o' mine
Referring to a special someone as a dear child.
